To the Honorable, the Legislature:
This report is transmitted as required by sec. 20.002(11)(f), Wis. Stats. (for distribution to the appropriate standing committees under sec. 13.172(3), Wis. Stats.), and confirms that the Department of Administration has found it necessary to exercise the "temporary reallocation of balances" authority provided by this section in order to meet payment responsibilities and cover resulting negative balances during the month of August 1999.
On August 4, 1999 the Support Collection Trust Fund balance was -$9.54 million. This shortfall continued until August 5, 1999 when the balance reached $295 thousand. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
On August 19, 1999 the Wisconsin Petroleum Inspection Fund balance was -$4.82 million. This shortfall decreased to -$4.79 million on August 20, 1999 and continued until August 23, 1999 when the balance reached $3.98 million. This shortfall was due to the timing of revenues.
The Support Collection Trust Fund and Wisconsin Petroleum Inspection Fund shortfalls were not in excess of the statutory interfund borrowing limitation and did not exceed the balances of the Funds available for interfund borrowing.
The distribution of interest earnings to investment pool participants is based on the average daily balance in the pool and each fund's share. Therefore, the monthly calculation by the State Controller's Office will automatically reflect the use of these temporary reallocations of balance authority.
Sincerely,
Mark D. Bugher
Secretary
Referred to committee on Ways and Means.
